My goal with this blog is to address local legal topics and provide information

There is a BIG change coming to Ohio expungment law. Starting on October 29th of this year, individuals with numerous non-violent non-sex offense convictions--up to five felonies, and an unlimited
number of misdemeanors--will have the opportunity to ask the court(s) to expunge those records.

The Ohio Supreme Court has recently decided the current statutory framework does not permit the courts to seal the records of certain pardoned offenders. Please join me in letting our legisature
know that a pardon should not be a worthless piece of paper.

Ohio has expanded eligibility for sealing of criminal records. New expungement / record sealing eligibility rules mean persons previously ineligible to have their record sealed may now be
eligible. Offenders with multiple convictions may now be eligible.
